TRIBUTE TO THE LATE MRS.
GRANT.

In the haste last week in preparing q
notice of the death of Mrs. Grant, wife
|of Hon. Levi Grant, some things were
omitted proper to be said. Her health
had been in precarious condition for
the past year, and she was at times
thought to be near the end of life. For
many weeks before her final departure
almost each day seemed the last on
earth. Although her sufferings were
intense, and often seemingly beyond
human endurance, yet she bore all with
remarkable fortitude, anxiously awaiting
the summons to be called home to Him
in whom she had trusted many year.
Her funeral occurred on last Friday
afternoon the services were conducted
at the house by Rev. T. S. Stein, Of the
Methodist church, of which she was a
member. The gathering of relatives
and friends was unusually large, quite a
number being in from the country towns,
who came to testify their respect for the
deceased. Funerals are ordinarily oc-
casicns Of mourning, but they are great
ly relieved from sorrowful emotions,
when, with one voice, all the people
unite in words of praise of the departed.
Probably not whisper of criticism un-
favorable to Mrs. Grants life's record
was heard during her twenty years resi-
dence in the town of Bristol, and her
subsequent long residence in this city.
How many Of the now living will leave
behind them such blameless record
when they shall have passed to the other
shore? The day was one of the mott
perfect of the season. The funeral pro-
cession to the cemetery comprised many
leading citizens OF the city and county.
The mound of earth that had been
thrown up from the newly-dug grave
had been covered by kind friends with
evergreens and made bank of flowers
by floral contributions. The grave was
Invested of its gloomy associations, and
fitted as pleasant receptacle for a
christian woman, whose spirit had gone
to the paradise of God, and where the
body will rest until the resurrection
morn.

A GIRL WHO HELPS MOTHER.

There is a girl, and / love to think of
her and talk of her, who comes in late
when there is company, who wears a
pretty little air of mingled responsibility
and anxiety with her youth, whom the
others seem to depend on and look to
for many comforts, writes Catherine
Cole. She is the girl who helps mother.
In her own home she is blessed little
saint and comforter. She takes unfin-
ished tasks from the tired, still fingers
that falter at their work; her strong
young figure is staff upon which the
gray-haired, white-faced mother leans
and is rested. She helps mother with
the spring sewing, with the weeks
mending, with a cheerful conversation
and congenial companionship that some
girls do not think worth while wasting
on only mother. And when there
comes a day when she must bend, as
girls must often bend, over the old
WORKOUT body Of mother lying unheed-
full in her coffin, rough hands folded,
her long disquiet merged in rest, some
thing very sweet will be mingled with
her loss. and the girl who helped mother
will find benediction of peace upon
her head and in'her heart.

At HER OWN EXPENSE.

A New York girl visiting recently II
Philadelphia was taken to the opera by
a young man, ard at the close of the
performance was asked to partake Of
some slight refreshment in the way of 8
supper. She accepted the invitation
and, at the close of the repast, was some.
what astonished to see her escort reach
for her pocketbook, which lay on the
table at her side, and coolly pay the bill
out of her money. This, it seems, is
customary in Philadelphia when young
gentleman's means are somewhat lin
tied. 1t relieves his lady friends of the
embarrassment they might otherwise
feel on partaKing of any entertainm
at his cost. It struck the New York
girl, however, as being very ridiculous,
and she began to laugh. ~ fear you
are laughing at my expense" said the
young man. Let me explain" oh,
no." she replied. ct was laughing at
my expense l"-Indepeade,at.

WEATHER SIGNALS.

A question is often asked on the
street in regard to the weather signals,
as seen floating in combination from
the flag staff on the Simmons building,
and we have been at some pains to as
certain.
The red tldq with black center indi-
Gates caution against wind velocity,
that will be dangerous to all classes Of
vessels-that is, when a velocity Gf 81
miles per hour is expected on'Ue Wdter,
within 100 miles of the station where the
flag is hoisted.
The pa,ti-colored flag indicates only
the direction of the wind. Placed obout
the red flag, indicates edsterEy winds
and when beloaO indicates uesterly winds
The black stripe uppermost indicates
ao,therly, and the auhite stripe, solttherls
winds.
Thus, the direction flag, above the
cautionary, with black stripes atppe,anost
may indicate easterly or northerly. OIL
north-easterly winds the same with
auhite stripes uppermost. easterly OF
southerly, or south-easterly winds. Z
The same placed beIoaU the red flag
would indicate auesterly, the black stripe
uppermost always indicating northerly
and the white southerly. The bette,
way to fix them in mind is to mark
them out like map, properly lettered
and place them before the eye.
The red flag hoisted alone indicate.
that the direction is doubtful. A rec
light at night represents the cautionar,
signal, but there is no night signal fol
wind direction.
The red flag or red light, as used BY
the railroads, always indicate caution Of
danger.

CLEANLINESS In MILKING.

Don't dip your fingers in the pail OF
milk to lubricate the cows teats while
milking. Good dairyInen absolutely
prohibit the. practice because it taints
the milk and consequently injuries the
quality of the product from the milk.
Bathing the teats and bag in cool water
in summer takes off the dirt and it
soothes the COW. This cannot be done
in winter or the teats will chap and
crack. Rub the teats and udder with
the hand and much of the dust and
scarf skin will come off. This scarf skin
is very idifficultSto keep out of the milk,
and ifnparts to it that " Cow barn" taste
which is so offensive. Pulling down on
the teats to get the milk from them is
painfulto the COW and not the best way
to get the milk from the teats. Grasp
the teat with the full hand and squeeze
without pinching or the COW will
" kick" See that the finger nails are
closely trimmed. A COW ought to kick
when pinched by long horny finger
nail. Hold the pail, in which the milk
ing is done, away from under the COW,
and then there will not be so much
danger from a kick, and the constantly
falling hairs, dirt and dandruff will not
get in the milk. John Gould, the ex-
perienced dairyman of Ohio, says truly
that good butter is half made when the
milk is taken from the COW in cleanly
manner

HOW CONSUMPTION rs COMMUNE
GATED,

Prof. Bubble, of Connecticut, in re-
cent paper on consumption of the lungs,
states that in his opinion the most fire.
quentImanner of contracting this mala-
dy is from diseased person through
the sputa, also through the glands, ex-
foliations from the skin, or in any way
in which the poison may appear on
the surface and be transported by
means of pocket handkerchieis, washing,
etc. The fact that the attendants in
hospitals who have the care of con-
sumptives are seldom attacked with the
disease convinced the writer that it is
not the air through which the germs
are carried, but it is communicated in
another mode, in fact, the way in which
the members of the family kiss and
fondle the patient and handle his linen,
From one member of the family the
special germ which excites the disease
goes TO another. Instances can fire.
quently be found, on inquiry, where the
parents transmit the disease to THEN
children F.; in such cases the family
physician should put in his word o.
warning. Boston Herald.

OFF WITH THE CHECK REINs

1t is painful to see so many horses tor
tured with tight check reins. There are
four ways in which these faithful though
dumb servants show neckache alone,
to say nothing of other tortures from too
tight a check rein: First, by tossing up
the head second, by running out the
tongue; third, by frothing at the mouth
(the horse cannot swallow fourth, by
swinging the head from side to side
Unhoolz the check of almost any horse
that has been harnessed an hour or two
notice how slowly and pleasurably the
poor animal lowers his head convinc-
ing proof that keen suffering has been
endured. Again, with the free use Of
the head in warm weather the horse
keeps off many torturing flies, which he
cannot do if reined with tight check.
Give him Il light check, or, better, none
at aliailLet the owner or driver try the
effect of a single fly upon his barred arm
and he will learn to be merciful to the
noblest and yet most abused ofdomestic
animals.

FODDER CORN.

Ii Prof. Henry's experience with fod
der corn in butte-, making is true and
practical, it is quite evident that not one
in hundred of our dairy farmers have
even half an idea of its value. We be.
lieye Prof. Henry is correct, for the sim.
pie reason that he has taken more pains
to be right and accurate than one farm.
er in ten thousand.
tie took one-fifth of an acre of fodder
corn, which yielded of dry fodder 2,45O
pounds, or at the rate of sic tons and a
quarter per acre. This is the yield as
compared with hay, to start with. To
have produced the same value of fodder
IN timothy hay in ordinary seasons he
got on fifth of an acre of fodder corn
would have required fue acres of ground.
Stick a pin there.
Now see how much better he made
the fodder corn produce. He fed it to
four COWS with a daily ration of six
pounds of bran, and four pounds corn
meal, and the fifth of an acre of fodder
corn gave him one hundred pounds of
butter. One acre of fodder corn cut fine
and fed dry with three tons of corn meal
and bran, the latter costing forty-five
dollars, produced fue hundred pounds of
butter. The COWS were given their water
at ffty degrees temperature. This one
acre OF fodder corn produced with forty
five dollars worth of corn and bran one
hundred and twenty-five dollars auonh OF
butter.
Could he have done this with timothy
hay in place of corn fodder?
In the light of these results can any
dairy farmer who is fighting to make
the most money possible from his land
afford to go along year after year grow
ing timothy hay for his COWS when with
about the same labor, ton for ton, of what
he gets, he can grow fodder corn in its
place?
Can he afford to read this article and
do as thousands are apt to do throw
down the paper and say. " Oh, that's all
theory"
Who is the theorist, the patient exper-
like Prof. Henry or the farmer
that cannot put such ideas into practice?
Everybody is at liberty to answer these
questions to suit themselves. -Hoards

On Friday last Sheriff Meyers received
a postal card from Port Washington,
Wis, giving the description of mare
that had been stolen from there on the
night of the 18th. He gave the card to
his son Fred, and told him to go and
look for the mare. Fred. started down,
and took look into Mr.. Monaghan's
blacksmith shop, where he saw mare
answering the description. He got
Chief of Police Hoye, who arrested the
man that brought the mare to the shop.
The fellow, who gave his name as Mat.
Rategan, said he exchanged another
horse for the mare in Chicago. The
owner came here and identified the
mare and paid Fred. Meyers the reward
of $50 offered for her return: Rategan
was taken to Port Washington on Sum

that he was easily captured after the
train was stopped. Father Wisbauer's

before, and the police are confident that
the prisoner was the robber each time.
